Intellij Idea - open recent project keyboard shortcut key

If I'm working in a project, is there a keyboard shortcut key to open a recent project (equivalent of File > Open Recent)? I'm on a Mac.

It seems like you can't even assign a shortcut to "Open Recent" in the Keymap either.

Another approach that doesn't require adding any keyboard shortcuts:

Press cmd + shift + a (Mac) / ctrl + shift + a (Windows) to perform an action search, then search for "open recent".
